Riverdale Drive Reconstruction. The City is in the process of designing an improvement project along Riverdale Drive. This project includes the reconstruction of Armstrong Boulevard from Highway 10 to Riverdale Drive, as well as Riverdale Drive between Armstrong Boulevard and the cul-de-sac east of Alpaca Street. In addition, the city is proposing to extend Riverdale Drive to the east to connect to Traprock Street. This work will require some detouring of traffic so the city is developing a project web page to provide current detour route information throughout the project. On April 26th a letter was sent to affected businesses inviting them to attend a Public Information meeting regarding the reconstruction of Riverdale Dive. The Public Information meeting will be held on Monday, May 6th at 2:00 p.m. in the Alexander Ramsey Room at City Hall. Attached to the Weekly Update is a copy of the letter sent to the businesses. A letter inviting affected residents to a second meeting will be mailed soon. Administration • The Mayors of Andover, Anoka and Ramsey invite you to join them for the annual Mayors' Prayer Breakfast. This important event is scheduled for Friday, May 17th, beginning at 7:30 a.m. at the Fountains of Ramsey, 7533 Sunwood Dr NW, in Ramsey. The purpose of the breakfast is to raise awareness and support Youth First Community of Promise, which provides essential services to kids that are struggling at school, at home, with relationships, and in life.
